Oh don't get me wrong. The sound of Dune2 is well worth it. It is a next-gen soft-synth, so higher CPU usage than older synths is to be expected.

Depending on the types of sounds you are after, you can make Dune2 very efficient, and it's unison algorithms produce some of the fattest/warmest harmonics of any of my synths. But, sometimes it sounds so good that it makes you want to add a little here, a little there, and before you know it you've got a multi-timbral sound that's eating 20-25% of your CPU.
